git-cvsexportcommit(1)
======================

NAME
----
git-cvsexportcommit - Export a commit to a CVS checkout


SYNOPSIS
--------
git-cvsexportcommmit.perl 
                        [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -c ] [ -p ] [PARENTCOMMIT] COMMITID 


DESCRIPTION
-----------
Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository. 

Execute it from the root of the CVS working copy. GIT_DIR must be defined. 

It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are 
unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit 
by default.

Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files.

If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell git-cvsapplycommit what parent
should the changeset be done against. 

OPTIONS
-------

-c::
	Commit automatically if the patch applied cleanly. It will not
	commit if any hunks fail to apply or there were other problems.

-p::
	Be pedantic (paranoid) when applying patches. Invokes patch with 
	--fuzz=0

-v::
	Verbose.
